It aims to release the chronic patterns of tension in the body through slow strokes and deep finger pressure on the contracted areas, either following or going across the fibres of the muscles, tendons and fascia.These massages can help you with:Chronic painLimited mobilityRecovery from injuries (e.g. whiplash, falls, sports injury)Repetitive strain injuryPostural problemsOsteoarthritis painFibromyalgiaMuscle tension or spasm

Like Chiropractors, osteopaths undertake spinal manipulation where this is considered appropriate due to restrictions in mobility. There is good evidence from clinical trials demonstrating the effectiveness of spinal maipulation therapy. 

Many aches and pains can be attributed to poor posture due to modern lifestyle and, in particular, extensive computer use. Managing your own posture is liekly to be a key part of your own recovery process.

Treatment of a wide range of sports injuries is offered to enable you to get back to your sport as soon as possible. Sports massage can also ease tired and aching muscles, improve lymphatic drainage and prevent injury

As osteopaths we have a thorough understanding of the biomechanics of the back and neck and possible sources of pain including disc prolapse and trapped nerves -- my commitment is to get you moving again, without pain
